I skipped this week (well plan to inject 5 days late) due to being really unwell still so won't be missing Christmas as that'll move my jab to Friday and as I'm working most of Christmas anyway will be fine.
I've stayed on a lower dose too rather than risk going up so don't have high suppression so should be able to eat as I want. That's mainly due to a few days awake in a couple weeks. I won't calorie count. Those few days, or Christmas Day (nor boxing day if I don't have to work)

We have a holiday in January and dependant on how I feel closer to time I may skip a dose then, as I did for a previous holiday as it worked really well for me both physically (my loses increases after) and mentally.
 
I won’t be taking a break as such but my jab day is Wednesday so I may delay it until day after Boxing Day. More to do with avoiding side effects than wanting to just eat everything.

I told my mum about mounjaro after months keeping it to myself and she was very very supportive (I knew she would be anyway but didn’t want to get her hopes up telling her if it didn’t work for me). Interestingly though her first question was asking me if I’m buying it online and worrying about...

I'm not sure how to reply to your comment on a new thread. But just to say, it's prescription only medication, where your prescriber has told you the dose to take and when. Don't try and make your own prescription regime up without discussing with your prescribing team.
Yes, you can take early but then what is your plan? If you want to go up to 5mg, wait and take the whole 5mg, else you'll be stuck doing the same next week messing about with levels in your body.
 
I'm just going to continue as usual - by Christmas it will be my 8th week of 2.5mg and I jab on a Sunday so I'm assuming by that point I should have an appetite. Then I'll play it by ear in January and move up if I need to.

I weighed myself today and after 2 weeks of maintaining (lost 1lb), I've left the 13s and I'm 12st13lb. So I've lost 3lbs since Sunday! Might be because of the chippy chips I ate...didn't give me the 💩 but most definitely taught me a lesson.

Oh and I have two lunches to attend over the next few days and I can't for the life of me figure out what drink to order. Water with lemon and lime is the best I can come up with - any suggestions for a still soft drink that won't rip my guts out, please?
 
I’m not taking a break over Christmas. I just don’t see the point personally. I don’t want to pig out over Christmas, I’m happy to keep going and will still have the foods I like without going over the score with it. It might raise some questions when I’m with extended family, but I’ve lost almost 5 stone - it’s inevitable I won’t be able to eat as much as I used to because of that.
 
Morning, I am pretty much at target and have a 15mg pen that still has 3 shots in it.
I am sure this has been asked before but i can't find it, if I wanted to only have say 7.5mg now how many clicks would I do?
I have seen so many posts and am now confusing myself 🙈
Thanks for any advice x
 
Last Wednesday was my wk 5 of my journey and I took my golden dose of 2.5mg and then Thursday I flew on holiday. If I had of been at home I would have definitely moved up to 5mg but I didn't want unknown side effects of a new dose while away (and I wanted to be able to eat/drink).

Anyway, I have been away and have had absolutely zero suppression. I have eaten and drank as if I wasn't on it.

I fly home later today so will be doing my injection tomorrow (2 days late) I am panicking that if I take 5mg (new dose and late) I will be ill with side effects?

What is everyone's opinion? Do I take the 5mg and just hope for best (I don't have work so don't need to worry about that) or would you try and do maybe a 3.75mg dose (and if so, how many clicks is it)?

Help 🤣🤣🤣

P.s I am not gonna get weighed cos think I will depress myself.

30 clicks
60 clicks for a 15mg dose, half to make 7.5mg is 30. Or 5mg would be 20 clicks. I think

60 clicks of each pen is a full dose
So 30 clicks for half a dose

I would move up to 5 if it were me. Especially if the suppression has all but gone. You might be fine on 5 - it was probably one of my more uneventful doses despite staying on it for two pens. Lots of people are, they just don’t post about it as much as the people who have had bad experiences on it.

You should be fine as it’s only 2 days difference. If it’s 2weeks or more then you’d have to stay on 2.5
 
I'm not taking a break over Xmas as I'm a real slow loser anyway and I'm not risking ruining weeks of work for a two day food fest. I will be with family tho and I am a bit concerned over how little compared to normal I'll eat and the questions about it but I'll bullshit my way out if it. My partners very ill so people may assume I've lost my appetite when the reality is normally id eat my feelings down. I've moved injection day so by then I'll be injecting Friday morning. Suppression will be at its lowest anyway.
